"Large legion operations are completely different from small-scale operations, and General Wang Jian is the only commander in Da Qin who has experience in commanding large legion operations. You must carefully analyze the differences in this battle and never dare to slack off!"
"promise!"
The Xiongnu sent 500,000 troops, and although the Qin Great Wall Army only had 50,000 troops, 200,000 auxiliary troops were transferred from various counties to the rear.
Although they are auxiliary soldiers, these county soldiers have also been trained for several months. Many of them are still soldiers from the Six Kingdoms. In the past, they could also be used as regular soldiers.
During the battle between Qin and Zhao, all the soldiers on both sides who were twelve years old or older were recruited into the army. At that time, these county soldiers could be called elites.
A battle involving a total of 800,000 people from both sides is definitely a rare large-scale army war. It is not easy to encounter such an experience once.
Zhang Han also looked at Wang Jian expectantly. He now has absolute confidence in commanding tens of thousands of people to fight. He also has absolute confidence even in commanding the Great Wall Army against the 500,000-strong army that the Huns are gathering.
But this confidence is due to the presence of His Majesty and the presence of the Imperial Guards and Dongchang Internal Guards brought by His Majesty.
If it weren't for the Jinyi Guards and the Dongchang Internal Guards, and the 50,000 Great Wall Legions facing off against the 500,000 Huns, the only thing he could do would be to defend the Great Wall and wait for reinforcements from the rear.
The only war experience that I can claim is that I went to the grassland tribes, but that day it was the Jin Yiwei who cleared out the Huns spies and finally fought an encirclement and annihilation battle, but I didn't have any experience in frontal combat.
Wang Jian is now the general with the most experience in frontal combat in Da Qin. I must study hard with Wang Jian in this battle. This is an experience that can only be learned between life and death.
Wang Jian stood up and saluted Zhao Wen first, then turned to look at the Great Wall Army Corps. His face instantly sank, and he said in a cold voice: "I am the commander of this battle. Any orders in the army, whether understood or not, must be resolutely implemented. If
If you slack off in the slightest, engage in military law!"
"Greetings to the commander!" All generals bowed at the same time!
"The Jin Yiwei sent a message that the Xiongnu have gathered in large numbers outside the Great Wall. Where are they now? Who is responsible for monitoring them? Are there any rangers left that harassed the enemy when they marched? The troops marching on the grassland must bring a large number of livestock for food. Where can they graze them?
!”
Wang Jian asked questions one after another, and the general's residence suddenly became filled with a chilling atmosphere, and the tense atmosphere instantly filled the air.
"Your Majesty and the coach are here, please!"
Taking Zhao Wen and Wang Jian all the way to a larger room, Zhang Han pointed to a huge sand table and said: "The gathering place of the Xiongnu tribes is here, one hundred and forty miles away from my Great Wall Legion camp, because
Each tribe has different distances, and now there are more than 300,000 people gathered!"
"This time, the Huns brought millions of cattle and sheep, but because they had to be raised near water sources, and there was not much water source outside the Great Wall Legion, they were raised in these three places, about two miles away from the Great Wall Legion's camp.
One hundred to three hundred miles!"
"Because the Xiongnu's warning range is very large, the Great Wall Legion did not send out any rangers, and the Jinyi Guards are responsible for monitoring!"
Wang Jian glanced at Zhang Han coldly, but the expression on his face became more and more ugly, and said sternly: "The first thing I want to tell you today is that in the military, intelligence comes first at all times, and when conditions permit,
Under such circumstances, intelligence must be verified through multiple points, rather than relying on just one line!"
"The second point is that no matter when attacking or defending, you must send out rangers. This is not only to test the opponent's strength, but also to disperse the opponent's elite and reduce the opponent's threat to the camp!"
"If the gap between the elites of both sides is too large, they can also reduce the morale of the other side through a large number of kills!"
He glanced at Zhang Han with disappointment. Originally, he was very optimistic about this junior, but now, seeing that Zhang Han had placed all his information on Jin Yiwei, it was obvious that Jin Yiwei's powerful strength had completely deceived this junior.
Of course, this may also be because after being suddenly promoted to a high position, he is not accustomed to the identity of a general and still thinks from the perspective of a general.
"Your Majesty, if we do not send any rangers, we will definitely be considered timid, and then judged as insufficient troops. The Xiongnu will definitely become more arrogant. I believe that the Great Wall Army should not wait any longer, but should seek opportunities to take the initiative to fight decisively with the Xiongnu!"
"The Huns sent 500,000 troops, but now they only have more than 300,000. There are still many tribes who have not come over, so a decisive battle is about to begin?" Zhao Wen's tone contained doubts and displeasure. The reason why he came here in person this time was for a battle.
Defeat the Xiongnu, Qin's biggest rival in the north.
The Qianjin Yiwei and the Dongchang Neiwei are all selected top masters, and they definitely have the strength to keep all the Huns who came over. The decisive battle now is to leave viable forces for the Huns.
"The war will always be fought by the Great Wall Legion, and the opponents are all young and strong, 50,000 versus more than 300,000. Even if the Great Wall Legion is elite, it is almost at its limit. If the number is large, there will inevitably be additional casualties!"
Wang Jian's voice was extremely calm, and he pointed to the map and said: "The Xiongnu camp is one hundred and forty miles away from the Great Wall Legion camp. The infantry cannot reach it in a day. Even if the cavalry arrived, the horses were tired and unable to fight. In addition, we did not send any rangers."
, the other party must be slacking off!"
Speaking of this, Wang Jian said with great certainty: "I can conclude that there must not be much defense in the Xiongnu camp now. We will send out troops early tomorrow morning. The Jin Yiwei will clean up the enemy's outposts and rangers all the way, and arrive near the Xiongnu camp at night!"
"Because the sentinels and rangers did not return, the Xiongnu camp was bound to be nervous and impatient, but because it was night and unable to see, we could only wait until daytime to deal with it. Only this night of speculation and tension could reduce the number of Xiongnu troops.
Divide the fighting power!"
"The Great Wall Legion rested all night. At dawn, when the Huns were most exhausted, 20,000 iron cavalry were in front and 30,000 armored infantry were behind. They rushed directly into the Huns camp. This battle can be decided in one battle!"
Looking at the fierce-looking generals of the Great Wall Legion, and then at Wang Jian who looked confident, Zhao Wen admitted that if Wang Jian followed this method, this battle would indeed be won, but it would cost hundreds of thousands of people who had not yet come over.
The Xiongnu tribe was frightened back.
"I have another reason for doing this!"
Wang Jian bowed and said: "Hundreds of thousands of strong Xiongnu men must eat well and build up their strength in these days before the war. It will take more than ten days to wait for the Xiongnu tribe to gather together. In these ten days, several
One million cattle and sheep will be eaten, and more than a million will be eaten!"
"Only this battle can completely break up the momentum of the Huns. After a few days of rest, the Great Wall Army can march into the grasslands and sweep across the Huns' royal court and surrounding tribes. Divide the first battle into two battles, and the results will be much greater!"
"Okay, this battle will be arranged by Wang Aiqing, and I will hold the battle for you all!" Zhao Wen's eyes lit up when he thought about Wang Jian's arrangements carefully!
